The Story
The Brand
Kibébé is a Malawian company that works closely with the people in the Dzaleka refugee camp.
Founded by refugee Innocent Magambi and his Italian wife Florisa, Kibébé provides employment opportunities primarily to the socially disadvantaged and people with disabilities through the production and sale of handmade baby products, accessories and decorative items. Part of the proceeds are also donated to the sister foundation "There is Hope", which provides educational and vocational training opportunities for the community.
The Faces behind
The Workshop in Dzaleka
All Kibébé products are made in the light-filled workshop in Dzaleka, the only refugee camp in Malawi. Dzaleka hosts around 40,000 refugees and asylum seekers from countries such as Congo, Burundi and Rwanda. Most of the 22 artisans employed are refugees from these countries and have the opportunity to work in a safe and supportive environment. The workshop not only offers them a secure workplace, but also the opportunity to further develop their craft skills. The artisans work five days a week, receive ongoing training and share a nutritious lunch and many shared moments.
The Faces behind
The People
The people at Kibébé are predominantly refugees from Rwanda, Burundi and Congo. Despite their tragic experiences and the challenges they have had to overcome, they radiate remarkable warmth and joy. Their positive attitude and commitment are the driving forces behind Kibebe's handmade products. They bring their cultural skills and craftsmanship to the table, helping to create a supportive and vibrant community.
The History
The Impact
Kibébé not only creates sustainable jobs, but also promotes local economic growth through the purchase of fabrics at the Lilongwe fabric market. Kibébé's products offer refugees and locals the opportunity to grow and develop together. In addition, its sister foundation "There is Hope" provides educational and vocational training opportunities for the community.
Working at Kibébé not only provides Artisans with financial stability, but also a sense of belonging and purpose. By integrating people with disabilities and supporting family members, we create an inclusive and supportive community.
